Where this word comes from

From Proto-Finnic *soola (compare Estonian sool, Veps sol), borrowed from Baltic (compare Latvian sāls), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sḗh₂l. Words of Indo-European origin occur also in many other Uralic languages (compare Erzya сал (sal), Udmurt сылал (sylal), Komi-Permyak сов (sov)); while earlier borrowing was previously assumed, it is more likely that these terms were borrowed separately.
